Two more reasons to type in Hindi
11 ottobre 2007
Posted by Aditya Kulkarni and Balaji Gopalan, Software Engineers
As some of you have already noticed, we've combined Google Suggest with our
Indic transliteration
technology to give you a new way to search the web in Hindi.
You can type your queries using a regular English keyboard, and we'll show you suggestions and completions of your query in phonetically equivalent Hindi. This means that you can type "amit" and see Hindi suggestions like "अमिताभ" and "अमिताभ बच्चन". Once you're happy with one of the suggestions, you can click it to get search results in Hindi. Try this out on the
Google India Hindi homepage
and explore all the Hindi content available on the web.
Quite a lot of people have also asked for a Googley way to scrap your friends on orkut in Hindi. You can now type in Hindi the same way you do in
Blogger
and on the
Google India Labs
page. If you have selected "Hindi" in the "languages i speak" field in your
orkut profile
, you'll see the "Type in Hindi" checkbox on the scrap pages. Just check the box to start scrapping in your favorite tongue.
We're eager to hear your
feedback and suggestions
, so please
let us know
what you think. Don't forget to visit the
Google India Labs
page to see what we've been working on.
